The last hours before launch
On the morning of launch day, the State Commission declared the crew fit for flight. Late-access payloads were loaded into the Soyuz spacecraft late in the afternoon. And, at the end of a long Russian night, Roberto Vittori and his Soyuz TMA-6 crewmates, the Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev and NASA astronaut John L. Phillips, began their voyage into space.
The hours during the build-up to the launch of a Soyuz are very strictly planned. The crew began their preparations some hours before the launch with a long and thorough cleaning of their bodies; they have to avoid carrying micro-organisms to the International Space Station.
Before leaving the cosmonaut's hotel, according to a tradition dating back to Gagarin's time, Vittori placed his signature on his bedroom door. Baikonur Cosmodrome is a place steeped in history.
The first step of Vittori's journey into space was a very small one: six hours before the launch, the crew boarded a very terrestrial vehicle, a bus, which brought them to the launch pad for final preparations.
Around 22:00 CEST (20:00 UT), five hours before entering space, Vittori and his fellow crewmembers put on their Sokol spacesuits, which provide them water, fresh air and safety during the critical launch and landing phases.
During a traditional military ceremony the crew received their final clearance for flight, after which they were able to exchange greetings with their families.
Just over three hours before launch, at about 23.30 CEST (21:30 UT), the propellant tanks of the Soyuz launcher were filled. The cosmonauts embarked on the second small step of their journey to the ISS. A lift brought them to the top of the launch pad.
After a very last wave to the crowd, the cosmonauts slipped into the Soyuz capsule, almost filling the landing module, sitting on their seats and waiting for the launch. The Soyuz Commander Sergei Krikalev seated in the middle, Flight Engineer Roberto Vittori on the left and the second Flight Engineer John L. Phillips on the right.
Around them, the activities were gaining momentum. Two hours before leaving, the crew once again performed a check of the communication systems. The hatch was closed and space got even closer as the Soyuz spacecraft was pressurized. Last checks ended just one hour before the launch.
Fifteen minutes later, the on-board computers were loaded with the flight programme, the spacesuits underwent a final check for air tightness and, finally, the launch site was totally evacuated.
It remained only to wait for the launch itself. In Baikonur there is no display counting down to "zero". Suddenly the Russian night lit up and the Soyuz lifted off into space.

The MTA has wrapped up blasting on the Second Avenue Subway at 72nd Street, relieving residents and businesses who say the neighborhood has been transformed into a war zone.
"We call ourselves the Baghdad Cafe around here," said Miguel Andujar, a barista at Daisy's Cafe. "People get scared."
Residents and shop owners have endured raining debris, plumes of dust, loud noises after dark, and a carcinogen scare since blasting began in January 2011.
Businesses complained that they lost all of their local customers.
The final blast on the long-delayed $4.5 billion subway extension's 72nd Street station cavern came at 4:30 p.m. last Thursday. Blasting is ongoing near the future 86th Street station.

Use VLOOKUP, one of the lookup and reference functions, when you need to find things in a table or a range by row. For example, look up a price of an automotive part by the part number.
In its simplest form, the VLOOKUP function says:
=VLOOKUP(Value you want to look up, range where you want to lookup the value, the column number in the range containing the return value, Exact Match or Approximate Match – indicated as 0/FALSE or 1/TRUE).
This video is part of a training course called VLOOKUP: When and how to use it.
Tip: The secret to VLOOKUP is to organize your data so that the value you look up (part number) is to the left of the return value you want to find (price of the part).
Learn about VLOOKUP
Build your knowledge of VLOOKUP with LinkedIn Learning. Learn how to use VLOOKUP to join data from separate sources using a common lookup value.
Technical details
Use the VLOOKUP function to look up a value in a table.
VLOOKUP (lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])
For example:
Argument name
lookup_value (required)
The value you want to look up. The value you want to look up must be in the first column of the range of cells you specify in table-array .
For example, if table-array spans cells B2:D7, then your lookup_value must be in column B. See the graphic below. Lookup_value can be a value or a reference to a cell.
table_array (required)
The range of cells in which the VLOOKUP will search for the lookup_value and the return value.
The first column in the cell range must contain the lookup_value (for example, Last Name in the picture below.) The cell range also needs to include the return value (for example, First Name in the graphic below) you want to find.
Learn how to select ranges in a worksheet.
col_index_num (required)
The column number (starting with 1 for the left-most column of table-array) that contains the return value.
range_lookup (optional)
A logical value that specifies whether you want VLOOKUP to find an approximate or an exact match:
How to get started
There are four pieces of information that you will need in order to build the VLOOKUP syntax:
The value you want to look up, also called the lookup value.
The range where the lookup value is located. Remember that the lookup value should always be in the first column in the range for VLOOKUP to work correctly. For example, if your lookup value is in cell C2 then your range should start with C.
The column number in the range that contains the return value. For example, if you specify B2: D11 as the range, you should count B as the first column, C as the second, and so on.
Optionally, you can specify TRUE if you want an approximate match or FALSE if you want an exact match of the return value. If you don't specify anything, the default value will always be TRUE or approximate match.
Now put all of the above together as follows:
=VLOOKUP(lookup value, range containing the lookup value, the column number in the range containing the return value, optionally specify TRUE for approximate match or FALSE for an exact match).
The following picture shows how you'd set up your VLOOKUP to return the price of Brake rotors, which is 85.73.
D13 is lookup_value, or the value you want to look up.
B2 to E11 (highlighted in yellow in the table) is table_array, or the range where the lookup value is located.
3 is col_index_num, or the column number in table_array that contains the return value. In this example, the third column in the table array is Part Price, so the formula output will be a value from the Part Price column.
FALSE is range_lookup, so the return value will be an exact match.
Output of the VLOOKUP formula is 85.73, the price of Brake rotors.
Here are a few more examples of VLOOKUP:

Example 2
Example 3

Common Problems
What went wrong
Wrong value returned
If range_lookup is TRUE or left out, the first column needs to be sorted alphabetically or numerically. If the first column isn't sorted, the return value might be something you don't expect. Either sort the first column, or use FALSE for an exact match.
#N/A in cell
For more information on resolving #N/A errors in VLOOKUP, see How to correct a #N/A error in the VLOOKUP function.
#REF! in cell
If col_index_num is greater than the number of columns in table-array, you'll get the #REF! error value.
For more information on resolving #REF! errors in VLOOKUP, see How to correct a #REF! error.
#VALUE! in cell
If the table_array is less than 1, you'll get the #VALUE! error value.
For more information on resolving #VALUE! errors in VLOOKUP, see How to correct a #VALUE! error in the VLOOKUP function.
#NAME? in cell
The #NAME? error value usually means that the formula is missing quotes. To look up a person's name, make sure you use quotes around the name in the formula. For example, enter the name as "Fontana" in =VLOOKUP("Fontana",B2:E7,2,FALSE).
For more information, see How to correct a #NAME! error.
Best practices
Do this
Use absolute references for range_lookup
Using absolute references allows you to fill-down a formula so that it always looks at the same exact lookup range.
Learn how to use absolute cell references.
Don't store number or date values as text.
When searching number or date values, be sure the data in the first column of table_array isn't stored as text values. Otherwise, VLOOKUP might return an incorrect or unexpected value.
Sort the first column
Sort the first column of the table_array before using VLOOKUP when range_lookup is TRUE.
Use wildcard characters
If range_lookup is FALSE and lookup_value is text, you can use the wildcard characters—the question mark (?) and asterisk (*)—in lookup_value. A question mark matches any single character. An asterisk matches any sequence of characters. If you want to find an actual question mark or asterisk, type a tilde (~) in front of the character.
For example, =VLOOKUP("Fontan?",B2:E7,2,FALSE) will search for all instances of Fontana with a last letter that could vary.
Make sure your data doesn't contain erroneous characters.
When searching text values in the first column, make sure the data in the first column doesn't have leading spaces, trailing spaces, inconsistent use of straight ( ' or " ) and curly ( ' or ") quotation marks, or nonprinting characters. In these cases, VLOOKUP might return an unexpected value.
To get accurate results, try using the CLEAN function or the TRIM function to remove trailing spaces after table values in a cell.

Federal Court Declares Law Forcing Porn Actors To Wear Condoms Is Constitutional
An attempt to block implementation of Los Angeles County's Measure B, the legislation that passed in November which requires adult film actors to wear condoms, has failed.
The federal judge hearing the case denied three of the seven counts brought by the porn industry in their lawsuit.
According to AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF):
A federal court judge in California has ruled that a requirement that porn actors wear condoms during the production of adult films is constitutional. The ruling came in an order issued late Friday by U.S. District Judge Dean Pregerson, U.S. District Court, Central District of California [Case No. 13-00190 DDP (AGRx)], in response to a 'condoms in porn' lawsuit the adult film industry brought against Los Angeles County officials seeking to block implementation of Measure B, the Los Angeles County Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act. The porn industry claimed the law's requirement for condom use was unconstitutional.
In his ruling, Judge Pregerson wrote:
"Because Plaintiffs' [the porn industry's] First Amendment claim regarding Measure B's condom requirement is unlikely to succeed on the merits, the Court DENIES a preliminary injunction on that issue." U.S District Court Ruling, Pages 26-27, lines 23-25 and 1-3
"Interveners (AHF individuals) have presented evidence that the harms Measure B targets "are real, not merely conjectural, and that [Measure B] will in fact alleviate those harms in a direct and material way." Page 27, lines 13-16
"Plaintiffs (adult film industry), by contrast, have presented evidence from individuals in the adult film industry, but not in the public health or medical profession, who claim testing is so effective and universal that condoms are unnecessary." Page 28, lines 8-12
"Here, adult film actors must still use condoms. A permit is still required. Although the permit may not be modified, suspended, or revoked, fines and criminal charges may still be brought against offenders, as described in footnote 23. While administrative searches cannot occur, nothing prevents law enforcement from obtaining a warrant to enforce Measure B." Page 33, lines 9-15
What do you think about the judge's ruling, Instincters? Did he rule correctly? Do you support Measure B? Do you believe it can be realistically enforced?

Thumbs up to Munko and Co of Atoll Entertainment who was the event organizer. It was a smooth ly organized event.
This event has been a huge success at the start (1999) and the sport was on top gear until 2002. The administrations have failed to concentrate on promoting the sport since 2002, and the down fall cannot be stopped until we find a responsible and mature administration for the BBFM.
The governing body failed to abide by the rules and regulations of judging:
Article 13.8 of IFBB Rules for Bodybuilding, Fitness and Body Fitness clearly states that at no time the number of judges should be fewer than 5. At the time of the competition there were four judges on the judging panel. After the competition athletes confirmed that the governing body mentioned "judging was conducted by 3 on the panel". The governing body has not released any official statement with regard to this issue. Still with the four judges on the panel the credibility of the decision are questionable.
Acceptance of the fact by the governing body that the panel was not constructed as per the standard set by the rules of the game gave the athletes questions on the credibility of the decisions.
The final decision!
Mr. Mahmood Ziyad of Maldives National Defense Force was awarded Mr. Maldives, the judgment was made by the few judges on the panel without calling all three contenders for the title on the stage. It took me on surprise that all the contenders for the title were not called on stage for a comparison.
Clearly the first choice for the title was Ziyad, he was in better shape than any other competitor, but does this give the bodybuilding fans and the competing athletes a fair treatment. It's understood that the decision should be made after calling all participant on stage and a comparison from the judges as the show is solely focused on the title holder, I believe that's the reason why this event is called Mr. Maldives if not it could have been named Maldives National Bodybuilding Championship.
At the end of the show while leaving the hall a lot of former athletes team mangers questioned me "how the judging was conducted without three of the contenders compared?" I replied I don't know if the laws of the game have changed or not, I have to check on it. Still supported saying it was deserved win for Ziyad.
Mega Cash Prize.
The governing body has come up with awarding mega cash prize for the future events, will giving away huge sum of cash produce great bodybuilders in this country. Absolutely No.
Looking in to the history of 10 years the governing body has not implemented a proper development program to promote the sport. Technically all the questions about development went into bottom line saying lack of finances.
Do we need a lot of finances do go and conduct seminars in the secondary schools about weight training? Do we need a lot of finances to demo the students the simple basics of weight training? Have we tried to communicate with the school sports supervisors about making the youth aware what weight training is? Development needs a plan and to use the experienced past athletes add few hours promoting the sport.
No matter how big the cash money is it's difficult to fill up the competition floor with new comers without a development plan to make the sport popular.
Sit back and think about this sport with a passion for it …
How long will Afrah, Nihad Rasheed, Mohamed Ibrahim, Mahmood Ziyad, Abdul Haseeb, Yoonus Rasheed and Co compete as these competitors have been competing since 1999. Even now some big names in the sport like Body Ala, Imad, Alsamath, Mifthah have retired and there aren't positive replacements of them.
Who's Who?
The Ministry of Youth and Sports has announced that all the associations have to go through it's a formal election process. I believe the question should be raised on Bodybuilding Federation as well. A diverse range of people from different organizations are pumping in money to develop their athletes for this sport. Organizations like Maldives Police Service, Maldives National Defense Force, Muscle Load, Male' Fitness Club and a private company called Lumber Private Ltd did send athletes to this year's competition.
The association needs to justify the policies of being a member, need to conduct formality and elect a group of people from all these areas that are at the moment spending on the athletes to further this sport in the country.
I think it's high time we think about the future of bodybuilding … BBFM should call upon to seek members, have a congress involving members to pass the constitution, formalize all the basic of running the organization. Without a proper foundation growth will always be in question!
"In sport, there are no limitations, no barriers of race, religion, politics or culture. In sport, we are in touch with each other" Bodybuilding is important for nation building. Ben Weider, O.C., C.St.J, C.Q., Ph.D., Founder & Honorary Life President IFBB

Students named Schweitzer Fellows at medical school
Medical students, from left, Chris Scott, Lisa Jackson, David Whetstone and Shinu Singh are Schweitzer Fellows at the Brody School of Medicine for 2001. Not pictured is Lisa Nelson. Photo by Cliff Hollis.
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Dec. 15, 2001) — Following in the footsteps of a man considered to be one of the world's greatest humanitarians, five students of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University are working to change their community for the better as well.
They have been chosen as N.C. Schweitzer Fellows for 2001. They are second-year medical students Lisa Jackson, David Whetstone, Lisa Nelson and Shinu Singh, and third-year medical student Chris Scott.
The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship continues the legacy of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who is viewed as one of the great humanitarians of the 20th century. The fellowship was founded in 1940 to support the work of Schweitzer in Lambarene, Gabon, during World War II. Since that time, the fellowship has continued to support the hospital there as well as other programs including local programs to address unmet health care and social needs in the United States.
Begun in 1991, there are now six local U.S. Schweitzer Fellows Programs in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Vermont/New Hampshire, Pittsburgh and North Carolina. During the past 10 years, more than 600 students have served as U.S. Schweitzer Fellows.
The N.C. Schweitzer Fellows Program interviews the applicants, who are selected based on their project ideas as they best fit into Schweitzer's convictions. The N.C. program is in its eighth year with 21 fellows participating who will provide at least 3,400 hours of direct service to underserved people and their communities.
Students help Spanish speakers
Jackson and Whetstone are working on a project to provide health education materials to Hispanic patients in the Pitt County Memorial Hospital emergency department and the Fountain Indigent Care Clinic.
Both majored in biology and Spanish as undergraduates at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and have traveled to Spanish-speaking countries. "I volunteered as a Spanish interpreter at UNC Hospitals and to visit Spanish-speaking patients," Jackson said. "That gave me a lot of experience for what they wanted to talk about."
Whetstone, of Wilmington, said, "I have an interest in meeting the needs of the underserved community like the Latino community."
At the medical school, Jackson and Whetstone learned of the fellowships through Patrick O'Malley, a third year medical student and Schweitzer fellow last year. O'Malley's program, Get PHED Up!, focused on getting medical students into the PCMH E.D. waiting room to talk about preventive health care with patients. "But he didn't have anything in Spanish, and there are a lot of Spanish-speaking patients. We decided to start a program to educate Spanish-speaking patients about basic, preventative health care issues," Jackson said.
Their program is called "Junto," which means "together" in Spanish, "because we are uniting all of the health, spiritual and social services, circulating the knowledge about them because we couldn't do it alone," Jackson said.
Jackson and Whetstone are working toward assessing the needs of the Spanish-speaking population by using a survey Whetstone developed to see what the group sees as problems for them. For example, did they need more Spanish-speaking resources in the community? Most checked yes. Whetstone has collected about 300 completed surveys so far and wants more to get a full assessment of the Latino community's needs.
Jackson created a brochure in Spanish listing medical, social and spiritual support groups "because they get here and they don't have a car or a phone and no way of asking," she said. They have been circulating the brochure throughout the community, at the Fountain clinic and the Pitt County Health Department.
They are also recruiting Spanish-speaking volunteers from their medical school peers and physician assistant students to educate patients about preventive health care needs at the Fountain clinic or in the E.D

For a few minutes, a classroom was transformed into an apartment in Spain, where an estranged husband and wife argued. The tension between these two was palpable as they debated one of the most difficult parts of divorce: Who gets custody of the beloved dog?
Spanish 300 students Patricio Garza and Glamarys Sierra portrayed the couple from Resguardo Personal (Personal Safeguard), a play by Paloma Pedrero of Spain. Their performance was part of Teatro en Español, an event featuring five dramatic readings presented by Professor Iani Moreno's Introduction to Literary Analysis class.
Throughout the semester, Moreno, an associate professor of Spanish in the World Languages & Cultural Studies Department, reviewed various genres with her students. Instead of offering a basic primer on Latin American and Spanish literature, students gained a comprehensive understanding of plays, poetry, film, songs and other literature.
"We studied key Latin American and Spanish works, and I taught students how to analyze them," she says. "When the focus of the class moved on to theater, we actually staged scenes from the plays we studied."
Moreno not only had the students perform in class, she went a step further by creating Teatro en Español. The event offered them a way to showcase their fluency in Spanish.
Glamarys Sierra, 2014, a Spanish major and education minor, was hesitant when Monero first introduced the concept of Teatro en Español.
"Initially I didn't think it was something that I wanted to do," she says. "It turned out to be a great opportunity to practice what we learn in class."
Teatro en Español included students performing scenes from other plays including, El censo, which introduced the audience to corruption in Mexican Society. Delantal blanco focused on the division of social classes in Latin American society, and Invierno discussed the perils of illegal immigrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Historia de como nuestro amigo Panchito Gonzáles se sintió responsable de la epidemia de la peste bubónica en Africa del Sur depicted how international corporations take advantage of developing countries.
The Wednesday, April 17, performances were free and open to the public and featured the following student performers:.
El censo (The Census) by Emilio Carballido of Mexico
- Beatrice Sidoli-Tronchi
- Dani Fitzgerald
- Vanessa Castano
- Morgan Grant

Two deaths have been linked to the storm, including one in a fatal traffic accident in Minnesota. Accidents and slide-offs were widespread across the affected states. Commuters faced strong winds of Lake Michigan in eastern Wisconsin. While Chicago's large fleet of snowplows salted and cleared the city's streets of 3 inches of snow, commuters slogged through slush to get to their offices.
About 270 flights in and out of Chicago's two airports were canceled Friday morning. Arrival delays of up to 90 minutes were reported at O'Hare airport. The Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo., airports both reopened Friday morning but had numerous cancellations and delays.
The snow began falling in Detroit just in time for the morning rush, turning streets and freeways into a mess.
Head bowed and arms crossed, 45-year-old Patrice Denham pushed forward into Detroit's swirling snow. She had just walked several blocks to her townhouse complex's leasing office for a new mailbox key and was heading back home.
"You live in the city of Detroit and you do what you have to do," Denham said referring to the rough winter weather that regularly affects the city. "If it's going to be cold, it's going to be cold. But this has been only an average winter."
Where the storm struck hardest Wednesday and Thursday, impressive snow totals rolled in -- 17 inches in Hays, Kan.; 13 inches in northern Oklahoma; 13 1/2 inches in northeast Missouri and south-central Nebraska; and 12 inches in parts of Kansas City, Mo.
As it moved farther north and east overnight and into Friday, the system lost strength. Illinois' totals ranged from 7.5 inches in the west-central town of Rushville to a mix of sleet and freezing rain in the St. Louis, Mo., suburbs. Dodge County in southeastern Minnesota received 8 inches by Friday morning, and Trempealeau County of western Wisconsin had 7 inches.
Students across a large swath of Kansas spent a second day at home as crews continue to excavate residential neighborhoods. Schools also were closed Friday in parts of Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The Kansas Legislature was back in session Friday after canceling its meetings Thursday, but lawmakers' schedule was light.
Travel continued to be the major issue Friday.
A United plane slid off a slick runway at the Cleveland airport onto a grassy area Friday morning. No injuries were reported.
The Minnesota State Patrol blamed the snow for over 200 accidents during the Friday morning commute. One driver was killed when a vehicle lost control, slid into oncoming traffic and was broadsided on a highway in the St. Paul suburb of Eagan.
A death in western Iowa was also linked to the storm when a woman was run over Thursday by her car, which had gotten stuck on her steep, slippery driveway.
Also in Iowa, a bus carrying members of a college softball team was involved in a multi-vehicle crash Friday morning. It closed part of Interstate 80 east of Des Moines, and no serious injuries were reported.
In some locations, the storm didn't live up to the hype. At the Pilot Flying J station near Interstate 29 in southwest Iowa, shift manager Kelly Malone said Friday his company had taken precautions by reserving seven rooms for employees at the nearby Super 8 Motel.
"We were prepared for the worst, but it didn't happen that bad," he said. Iowa's snow totals topped out at 9.7 inches near Sioux City.
"To me it was just an average storm, but I'm a person who drives through anything," he said.

Welcome to the Violence Prevention, Victim Advocacy and Support Center (VPAS)
*We welcome all full and part-time graduate and undergraduate students!
Sexual violence is a social justice issue!

The Violence Prevention, Victim Advocacy and Support Center (VPAS) is committed to helping to create a campus community of respect and safety by providing violence prevention education, victim advocacy and support services. We know that being in an environment that encourages responsibility, to self and others, is essential for students to achieve their academic and personal goals. Please click here for a copy of our brochure.
Our violence prevention education efforts include information that will help students to:
- build and sustain healthy relationships with intimate partners, friends, fellow students and university community members
- identify sexual misconduct and consent
- identify sexual misconduct campus and community advocates, resources, reporting options and Title IX rights.
- identify perpetrator behavior and risk reduction tips
- identify tools to safely intervene as a bystander
- identify the rights available for survivors of criminal acts
Advocacy and support services are available to all students who are survivors of violence, including sexual misconduct, bullying and hazing. Advocacy and support is provided according to the needs of each student survivor with the goal being to empower them and prevent victimization.
In that light, our prevention efforts, advocacy and services are designed to help create a healthier campus community that supports the success of all of our students.
